Abstract

The indication of International migration sicne 1970 was truly connected with rasional economic which was aimed to have better life. It was supported by government policy which focused on economic sector. But in fact, there was unbalanced economic level in the society. They were focused on doing job at the industrial sector and centered at the city. Besides, the villagers, who have minimum education, were buried. At the first time, men were dominating the dispatch of labor to Middle East. The woman were dominating this dispatch since 1974/1979 on informal or domestic sector.
At the present time, the number of the labor sent over seas are still dominated by women. Because it is becoming an answer for the society who have no chance to get the proper job in their own country (the limited opportunity of getting job). The government know that dispatching the labor will increase the income of devisa from labor remittance. The profit gained by the labor is not as much as what the government of agent got. The labor are shodowed by so many problems which are not handled very well by the government nor agent.
International people realize that the migrasion channel which is happened freely, evidently, has indication of human trade crime. Moreover, the most number of victims are women. Woman trade crime phenomenon is handled seriously by the United Nation. This Organisation stated that the woman trade is one of serious criminal act.
This study is aimed to know how serious the law protects the Indonesian woman labor who have sent over the seas. It’s also aimed to know the implementation of this rule.
On these cases happened in Indonesia, the process of pre-placement up to placement contains of elements of woman trade crime. Such as violence and intimidation during their life in the quarantine, the deception (the agreement of dispatching), debt twist, and power abuse.
The rule to protect Indonesia woman labor from woman trade has been arranged in the form of law, convention which is ratificated to the national law, and the stipulation of ILO. Yet, the stipulation and law mentioned above are not enough because the application is not maximum. Recently, there are still so many cases due to this matter.
Beside the existence of stipulation and law, the Department of Labor, PJTKI, and BP2TKI should able to give maximum protection as their responsibility to their citizen. The government formally give space to the LSM to support the woman labor in order to have protection from illegal woman trade.
